Description
Cylindrical cuvette type 120-QS is a precision spectroscopy cell manufactured from high-performance quartz glass with a usable wavelength range from 200 nm to 2500 nm. The optical path length is 2 mm and the filling volume is 560 µl, closed with a PTFE stopper for secure sample handling in cylindrical geometry. Hellma precision cuvettes are produced entirely in Germany and are suitable for all common spectrophotometers. Thermally bonded rather than glued, they achieve high resistance to temperature and chemicals and help prevent unintended leakage. Use of selected high-performance quartz glass yields excellent transmission above 82 % for exact measurement results, while bevelled edges support safe handling and minimise chipping. The cells can be cleaned and reused, offering a durable option for routine optical work. Manufacture follows EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001 and fulfils high optical standards. Linked with the SUPRASIL® material designation, type 120-QS suits spectroscopy applications that specify a short 2 mm path length and a compact 560 µl cylindrical sample volume.

What is this article?
cylindrical cells, 120 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hellma (IDL) for laboratory use. It sits in Cuvettes, in Labware.
A cuvette is an optical cell. The spectrophotometer or photometer sends a beam through a defined path length, usually 10 mm, and the absorbance is read from that path. Glass is for the visible range. Quartz or a UV-grade plastic is required below about 320 nm, because ordinary glass absorbs there. The path length and the wavelength window are the two numbers that choose the cell. The optical methods that use it sit with NIST and the BIPM. Laboratory ware is indexed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
